Overview

From the winner of the 2023 Ursula K Le Guin Prize for Fiction comes a short story collection that radiates from the dark forests of the Pacific northwest. In ten tales, Rebecca Campbell's exquisite prose channels ancient forest spirits, the lost ghosts of unknown fates, biological and technological transformations, and challenges the ways that colonization and extraction have shaped not only landscapes but how we imagine the future. Campbell zeros in on horrors and hopes, readying readers for the world to come. About Campbell's interconnected short stories in her novella Arboreality, the 2023 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize selection committee said, ""In her masterful and profoundly ethical stories, Campbell asks us what might be saved, what must be saved, and what it will take to do so."" Continuing in this tradition, The Other Shore delves deep into what transformations we need to survive and thrive.

Reviews

""A landmark first collection from an extraordinary writer. Like an autoharpist from the hills, Campbell makes a high lonesome sound all her own."" - Andy Duncan, three-time World Fantasy Award winner ""Rebecca Campbell's The Other Shore feels like the literary version of a concept album."" - Gabino Iglesias for Locus Magazine ""The Other Shore blends rich gothic lyricism with keen ecological awareness. These brilliant stories unsettle, dissolve, and refashion what we thought we knew of the world in the Anthropocene and our place within it. Layered and metatextual, they reveal both deep skill and profound environmental consciousness. Rebecca Campbell is a remarkable writer."" - Jenna Butler, author of Revery: A Year of Bees
